The Rushing Duck Makes a Splash in Orange County

It’s not “Russian Duck” but rather “Rushing Duck” that had us splashing through Chester, NY (Orange County) today to find the elusive brewery. Tucked inside the bottom floor of an old gray warehouse, sans signage or anything to indicate it is a place of business, we finally found the popular watering hole.

Inside, dozens of brew fans hugged their growlers like children. One patron even showed us how he safely buckles his Beanhead Coffee Porter to a bright orange baby-car seat. Drinking a 750-milliliter bottle is intimidating enough but the bigger-is-better principle obviously works here.

The Rushing Duck Brewery is one of over 65 New York Craft Brewers pouring bocks, porters, pales and stouts at TAP New York this month. Tickets are going fast for this Hunter Mountain beer and food festival.
